This blog was created for others who will hopefully glean something from the words I have written.Not much to say except I ran off from an orphanage when I was 13 years old.Hopped on a freight train and joined the circus.Have been wandering ever since.I am grateful to be alive and my only desire is to leave something here for others to gain from.If I can accomplish that then I have successfully reached my intended goal.All we have left in the end is our legacy.

"Rhythm of the Rails"

As I ride the rails into the fogUnder a rising sunAs if dissapearing into the abyssBefore the day is doneThe constant rhythm of grinding wheelsBrings peace that's hard to findIn the cool breeze upon my faceThat slowly enters my mindIn high altitudes the sky roarsBarely perceptible as quiet thunderIn my heart of hearts of which I feelCannot be put asunderThe city is far behindPeople are on my mindI realize for all their differencesFor everyone I may findThe world with it's peopleRegardless of distanceAre a giant bouquet of different speciesIn constant resistanceEach one speaks out as an individualTheir character in spite of the flawsMaking them unique in so many waysIn spite of man made lawsOuter beauty has never impressed me It's been my constant desireFor what resides inside each thingThat speaks like flickering fireThe gathering of observationsLasting impressions collected along the wayKeeping me company as I ride the railsThroughout the long cool daySlumbering on the bales of strawThe towns pass quickly byAlways observing from a safe distanceSo as not to get in the wayI dissapear into the fogWith nothing more to say
